Gazelle Plays The Scarlett Whore Of Berlin
We are delighted to announce that celebrated performer, Gazelle will once again return to The House of Burlesque to titillate the crowd with an intoxicating alter ego - Anita Berber, otherwise known as The Scarlett Whore of Berlin.

Anita Berber was a well-educated young lady with an intoxicating temperament who was tempted into the world of Burlesque in the 1920's. With her androgynous good looks, the German dancer, actress and writer became quite a sensation! Anita was one of the first ever women to dance on stage naked in 1918 and this paved the way for barely dressed Chorus Girls in Weimar's Berlin. The erotic dancer even inspired young artists, including Marlene Dietrich and was the noteworthy muse behind Otto Dix famous nude painting. Anita was further famed for making lesbianism and bisexuality in Germany a fashion statement at the time.

This is your chance to see Anita perform one of her own remarkable sexual fantasies with the inspirational dance of De Gross Babylon. Living on a diet of cocaine opium and morphine which no doubt fuelled Anita's creativity, Gazelle will amaze you with her erotic Whore of Berlin inspired ensemble!

Gazelle
Half Man/Half Woman

We celebrate sexual freedom with a tribute to Salon Kitty (1976) a film based in Weimar Berlin and featuring the popular visual arts of the era. The film starred Ingrid Thulin as Kitty Kellermann and focuses on the entertainment that created such a storm in that era.

Reminiscent of the Weimar Berlin Burlesque movement, the act will be performed by a half-faced dancer, a tribute to the time. The audience will be encouraged to join in with the energetic performance that promises to be an arousing and alluring piece.

La Jana
This tantalising seductive dance performed by Pink Minx is based on one of the 1930's most famous Burlesque stars, La Jana, who appeared in many revues in Berlin, Stockholm and London (to name a few). She was even presented to her audience semi-naked on a silver platter in Casanova. Following this performance, she became the talk of Berlin. Mistress of Crown Prince Wilhelm who was besotted with her, there was a rumour that she had an affair with Joseph Goebbels, although some people believe it may even have been with Hitler himself.

Charlie Chaplin was another man who fell for her charms however, it is documented that she was married or co-habiting with Michael Bohnen, opera singer.

With an impressive bad reputation - let Pink Minx take you back to La Jana's time as an erotic performer and captivate you as she did hundreds of thousands of others.

" Watching him move through our photoshoot from costume to costume is like a watching a lyrebird absorb and interpret the surrounding sounds of the forest." - The Times, Theatre
"Next minute the crowd were being treated to the erotic stylings of male burlesque act Adam. It was a shock, to say the least, at being witness to a well-toned man prancing around in a g-banger. Reservations aside, it takes serious cajones to do what this guy did, so kudos Adam" - Vulture Magazine
